I've had my smartie for 3 weeks now. I got 41.3 from the first tank of gas and 42.8 from the second tank fill. I think this is great mileage from a non-hybrid car.

Tom, I've found that highway driving doesn't improve the mileage tremendously--the smart is not very streamlined, so there's a lot of air to push out of the way at higher speeds.

To answer my own question-after two tanks of gas--41.7 in first and 42.05 in second. Second tank was mostly town driving. I don't baby her, but I don't drive agressively either. Next tank will be 100% freeway--anxious to see what she can do. Fun stuff

What kind of driving are you doing? I don't do any of the "hypermiling" tricks, but I do drive conservatively, and I will shift to neutral to coast to stop lights and signs. I had been getting 39-40mpg in 50/50 mixed highway/city driving, but this winter it's dropped to 32-34. (I got my smart in April, so this is my first winter driving, here in Chicago.)

Tom, I monitor my mileage by the trip with a scangaugeII which plugs easily into the onboard diagnostic port which lets you monitor all kinds of functions as well as monitor instantaneous mpg. It helps you learn tricks to increase your mileage as you go. Look for sites or groups on this site re: hypermiling. SCOA, Smart Car of America, google it and Evilution.co.uk is also very helpful. Keep in mind that not everything you read there applies directly as some things in the U.S. are different…
